Language issues in programming environments
When planning an automated programming-support environment, questions concerning language design arise. In this paper we consider problems such as why language-related issues occur, what is the nature of these questions, and how the software life cycle affects language structures; in addition, we consider how language problems in environments impact the target language of the programming-support environment. We define the programming life cycle as a series of models of the system to be developed. These models are represented by data structures and languages. We propose a set of language-building mechanisms called semantic frames or S-frames that will assist in developing the models and languages required for the programming-support environment.
